So far my experience with Nextcloud has been that it is a pain in the arse to install, and once it’s installed is slow as anything. Literally couldn’t run it on my pi 3b, now got it up and running pretty nicely on a NUC but it’s still not great. Have caching set up.

I have the notes app installed on my android phone and I can never used rich text editing because it gives timeout error.

This shouldn’t be this complicated. All I want is to de-Google my documents and notes, and self-host my kanban. I don’t really need the rest though it’s nice to have the options.

Do people use alternatives? Am I doing something completely wrong? I set it up using nginx which I know is not supported, but the alternative using Docker AIO didn’t allow me to use custom port easily.

    My setup is: The nextcloud server itself - 4GB - I’m using Nginx instead of Apache Postgres server - 2GB - I use this instead of MariaDB/MySQL Redis server - 2GB Storage server - 32GB - I use this for storing the actual files, not the virtual machine images or database stores. Elasticsearch server - 4GB - this is optional, and I’m probably going to decommission it

    All are running FreeBSD.

    Performance is reasonably OK.
